crib quilt in progress

Here's what I have going under the needle of my sewing machine today.Please forgive my absence of posts recently. No, I didn't go anywhere, but I was goofing off for a bit while my parents were here on a visit. I had good intentions of posting during their visit but, quite frankly, I was enjoying their company too much to take the time. I only get to see them twice a year so I cherish every moment and they are lots of fun besides. Since they left on Wednesday (boo-hoo, sniffle-sniffle) I did get busy and have started making a class sample for a crib quilt that I will be teaching at a local quilt shop SEW Studio. Rita, the shop owner, has taken a small sewing shop she started years ago into a vibrant 2 location quilt shop with great fabrics, machine sales, fun classes, charity projects and more. The class I am doing is from my "Blondies" pattern and I found the most adorable ducky fabric in Rita's store for the model. It's a Kathy Hatch design called Rainy Day Ducks from Robert Kaufman Fabrics and I thought it was perfect for a Spring crib quilt. I intend to get the top finished today and start quilting it on Monday.Note that I did say "intend". I'll see how many interruptions the day may bring, oh well, it keeps me on my toes.

Welcome to my blog

If this is your first visit to my blog, or a return visit, thank you for spending some time here. This is my blog written by me, no ghost authors here but I'm sure that is evident as my grammar will not pass muster with any English majors (or minors for that matter) but I will do my best to share interesting and even mundane aspects of my life as a quilter and quilt pattern designer. Into that mix I will be adding my attempts at gardening, being organized - HA , boosting creativity, and other everyday happenings. I should warn you in advance - I am a recovering procrastinator! So don't expect me to post daily, (won't happen) but I will try to surprise you with frequent postings.

About Me

My life as a quilt designer and optimistic pollyanna, revolves around my husband, home, family, friends, faith and of course quilts. Though the order may change from time to time as it does in everyone's life, the importance of them all, does not.
